Is it really time for another Genshin Impact special? It doesn’t seem that long ago. Anyway, one is happening on Friday, and looking at the key art, it looks like we’re heading back to Mondstadt, or are there more Mondstatians heading to Nod-Krai? I choose the former as we know that Varka is slowly sending troops home with the intention of following them once he attends to other matters.

Of course, players of the free-to-play ARPG will see some familiar faces. Jean and Diluc. They both appear in the image along with Varka, who will likely be the first banner in the new update. Two new faces also appear. These two characters are also connected to Mondstadt. In fact, players will likely think that a person’s mask looks familiar if they pay close attention to the game’s artifact sets. It looks very similar to the Bloodstained Iron Mask, which would make this character the Bloodstained Knight of Mondstadt and Nod Krai lore. The other figure is probably the vice-captain of the 5th company of the Knights of Favonius, Lohen.

Anyway, we’ll find out on Friday morning. Of course we will watch. That’s why we’ll let you know the important details throughout the day.
